Modifies provisions relating to fetal deaths

HB 924 modifies Missouri's vital statistics laws to clarify how fetal deaths related to abortion must be registered. The bill defines "induced fetal death" as a death from abortion and requires physicians, physician assistants, or advanced practice nurses to complete medical certifications within 72 hours for such cases. Funeral directors or those handling final disposition must file death certificates with local registrars within five days, using an electronic system mandated by the Department of Health. This affects medical providers, funeral directors, and the state vital records system by establishing specific reporting requirements for abortion-related fetal deaths.
